Chris,

I remember that some meteorological instruments (e.g. sun shine
recorders) also have elctronic spirit levels on board. 

Have a look here:
http://www.spectronsensors.com/appsheets/SAN-201-1703.pdf
and here:
http://www.spectronsensors.com/datasheets/SDS-117-1104.pdf

I don't know what these little gems would cost...

On their sites you can find complete inclinometers as well.
